Several months back I was sent a copy of Brother Francis' Walking with Jesus music CD. The CD is a collection of rosary prayers in song. Many of the songs on the CD are familiar songs from the Brother Francis DVD series so they were an instant hit with my toddler and have seen a lot of play time as a result.
So what should you know about these songs? Well, for starters, they help to familiarize little ones with the rosary and the the prayers of the rosary. I play many of these songs for the students in my religious education kindergarten class and last year when they put on an end of year show with another class the teacher of the other class came to me weeks later telling me how she had one of the songs stuck in her head and she needed to know the name of the CD. Several of the songs are quite catchy like that. When teaching little ones their prayers I like anything that helps to make it stick and these songs do just that.
All of the prayers we pray during the rosary are presented in song form on this CD. Children are also introduced to the four sets of rosary mysteries through a series of songs. It's a great way to introduce little ones to the rosary.
This CD is perfect for toddlers through second grade. The songs are all beautifully done and will resonate with youngsters.
Since we're approaching the time of year where people start thinking about Christmas gifts and stocking stuffers, I think this CD would make an excellent faith filled gift idea. It would fit perfectly in a stocking!
I was provided with a review copy of Walking with Jesus: The Rosary Prayers in Song by the publisher, Herald Kids in exchange for my honest review. Visit Brother Francis Online for more information on this CD and their other great Brother Francis products.
